“Dr. Linda Seligman’s book is an outstanding reference for all mental health professionals. This excellent revision, with the new chapter dealing with children, insures that diagnosis and treatment are considered within a truly lifespan approach.”––Thomas H. Hohenshil, Ph.D., professor of counselor education and psychology, Virginia Tech

“Linda Seligman, professor, practitioner, and researcher, shows her skill in connecting diagnosis to treatment. She writes in a way that is down–to–earth and user–friendly.

Review:

"…is a unique resource, the goal of which is to review empirically based treatments for psychiatric conditions. There are few other resources that parallel this volume, which essentially summarizes the majority of treatments that have been proven effective for mental illness. This book is a very thorough text that serves an important read. Whether reading it cover to cover or using it to research a specific mental condition, readers will not be disappointed." ( Journal of Psychiatric Practice, September 2008)
